ETF Stats for July 2010 – Official Count at 1,032
|

|
Twenty new ETFs and three new ETNs hit the market in July. No products were delisted, pushing the official count to a record high 1,032 (934 ETFs and 98 ETNs). Also during the month, the first lawsuit over ETF ticker symbols was filed as the Select Sector SPDR Trust claimed the "XL family of ETFs" is protected by trademark law even though the phrase was never used prior to the suit.
Monthly dollar volume (value traded) across all ETPs came in at $1.43 trillion, a drop of -17.7% from the $1.74 trillion in June. Average daily dollar volume declined to $68.2 billion from $79.0 billion. Market volume is notoriously light in August and could push these figures even lower in our next report.
SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) remained far and away the most actively traded product, grabbing 35.6% of all ETP monthly dollar volume with $509 billion of trading activity. Just eleven ETFs made the ETF Billion Dollar Club by trading more than $1 billion per day during the month. ETFs averaging more than $100 million per day numbered just 65 in July while accounting for 90.5% of all trading activity.
The number of products on ETF Deathwatch (average daily dollar volume below $100,000 and more than six months on the market) rose 9.8% to 146.
